Anschluss

“Sind wir auf dem richti­gen Weg nach Wien?” Road map in hand, Hitler arrives at the Aus­tri­an bor­der. The Wehrmacht’s break­downs of men and equip­ment soon had him infu­ri­at­ed. Can’t help think­ing, if that fel­low salut­ing had been hold­ing a pis­tol, how his­to­ry might have changed. (H. Blair How­ell, Cre­ative Commons)
